[Apologetics] Update to Adventism website

[Stephen Korsman]

Hi all

I'd like to let you know about the latest update to my website on Adventism from a Catholic perspective.  Those receiving this are those who I communicate with regarding apologetics, as well as contributers to the webpage, and some friends.

I've added a lot more information, mainly on the Sabbath, where I've added 23 new essays dealing with each occurrence of the Sabbath or first day of the week in the New Testament, as well as important ones from the Old Testament.  It comes to a total of about 50 pages when printed.  The two main index pages for the New and Old Testament quotes can be found at:

http://www.theotokos.co.za/adventism/sabbathinot.html

I've added several more debates with Adventists at http://www.theotokos.co.za/adventism/debates.html, as well as more testimonies at http://www.theotokos.co.za/adventism/testimonies.html.

The testimonies include one from an Adventist who became Catholic, and another from a Worldwide Church of God member who returned to Catholicism - he has written a lengthy piece on the Sabbath which he's let me post on my site - The Sabbath and the Catholic Church - Testimony of an ex-WCG member.

I've also included a short bio, on the page Who is Stephen Korsman, the website owner?

Adventist dishonesty in the way they present the Catholic faith shows a near-riot on newsgroups recently, where the Adventists who were quite happy misrepresenting Catholicism were not so happy when their faith was misrepresented and maligned.

Other articles include:

Why a bishop may not drink grape juice - Adventism claims the Bible does not permit moderate use of alcohol for social or religious reasons - medicinal only.
Ellen White calls true Christians certain sects that the Bible calls antiChrist! - referring to doctrines of the Albigensians and Waldenses.
Adventist Review's indirect admission of Ellen White's errors - AR's statement on what Ellen said about the Albigensians and Waldenses.
Part 1 - Adventist pastor - Bible contains truth, but also "opinion"
Part 2 - Adventist pastor - uninspired statements by Paul in the Bible
Anti-Catholic hatred is alive and well in Adventism

I have a lot of external links still to add and modify - these will take some time.

God bless,
Stephen
